Depends whos doing the work and if they want to refurb yours or exchange, when I got mine done by biagio I sent him a deposit to do the work then he refurbed some from his stock I just exchanged my wheels on the same day when they were done. Had to put it on axle stands for a few hours while I went to collect.

As stated Biggio exchanges like for like (size) refurbed ones from stock. Isn't he your way Helen?

What, having them refurbed :shock:

You'd need to take the tyres off and then refit them.

search e-bay for fuchs wheels you will no doubt find him, his ID is rockchick. He can get the tyres swapped for you when you collect, I think he has an account with a local tyre firm.

Hi Helen,

Biaggio did my wheels - pics of them are on my restoring thread. He lent me some temporary steel wheels while he was working on them.

I reckon 14s fetch about the same as 15s

I'd be tempted to swap to 15s the choice of tyre and smaller shoulder profile will make the car handle a whole lot better. Did with mine anyway, although I stepped up to 16s on mine, which look OK on a fat bumpered model.
